If variety is the spice of life, these cheese infused Swiss Cheese Mashed Potatoes will add pizzazz to your side dish menu.
Swiss Cheese Mashed Potatoes
These potatoes are so simple to prepare and they go with so many dishes that we love in the South. Simple doesn't have to mean boring, though. In this recipe, I used Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese wedges to add a creaminess that you won't get if you mash the potatoes alone. The flavor of the Swiss cheese is subtle but the creamy texture makes these mashed potatoes unforgettable.
Why Swiss Cheese?
Initially, I began adding those little Laughing Cow cheese wedges to mashed potatoes to introduce new subtle flavors to my tiny eaters. Now that my children are older, I still use cheese wedges from time to time for the creamy texture it lends to the potatoes.
- I use russet potatoes for this recipe but, you can certainly adapt using white potatoes or golden potatoes if that's your preference.
- These potatoes can be made in advance and chilled. You can reheat on the stovetop or in the oven in a baking dish at 350°F for 30-40 ,minutes until heated through.
- When baking to reheat, dot the top with butter for extra flavor and sprinkle shredded Swiss on top so it can melt.
- You could adapt this recipe using other flavors of cheese as well.
